The electron pairs in an ammonium ion are disposed along the four lines from the center of a tetrahedron to the four corners of the tetrahedron, with the nitrogen atom at the center of the tetrahedron.

What is the electron pair geometry of Br3?

The electron pair geometry of Br3 (tribromide ion) is trigonal planar. This is due to the presence of three bromine atoms bonded to a central bromine atom, with no lone pairs on the central atom. The arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory.


What is the electron pair geometry for so3?

The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.


Define electron repulsion?

Its actually electron pair repulsion. Its the principle that electron pairs around a central atom tend to orient themselves as far apart as possible. Electron pair repulsion is used to predict the geometry of a molecule or a polyatomic ion.


What is the formula and charge for ammonium ion?

The formula for the ammonium ion is NH4+. It has a positive charge of +1 due to donating one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Which element forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion?

The element hydrogen forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion, which is +1. When hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes a hydrogen ion with a +1 charge, just like the ammonium ion.
